So what was it that you said you wanted in a replacement for the Oval Office?? I thought it was honesty, and integrity, and Pro-Am policies that support main street, our Constitution, Laws of the land and the freedoms we hold dear. Wasnt it??? Didnt you?? You said you wanted someone who could communicate that without a teleprompter. You said you were sick of the lamestream media lies (have you already forgotten that you are the mainstream media??). Well accuracy, dear friend and conservative voter, is the enemy of lies. I want a policy EXPERT in the OVAL OFFICE that remains on the side of We the People and our freedoms and the rule of law. I want the arch-enemy of the left in our oval, and that happens to be Newt!

It doesn’t matter how great Newt is. If he’s the Messiah, or Reagan reincarnated — he still can’t win the nomination, much less the Presidency. He’s done. If he was our best hope — then its time to find the next best hope, or hunker down.

Arranging deck chairs as the last few feet of the USS Newt go underwater is not productive. Clinging to false hope is a waste of time.

Reality always beats delusion for planning purposes. Mitt is the nominee. Now what?

Newt is an older pro in this business than ANY of the rest. If he thinks there's a chance and a reason to stay in, I am with him.

Newt is many things but he's not stupid. He knows he isn't going to win this thing. He's sticking around for the campaign contributions. As long as he's in the race, people can contribute and with his campaign $4 million in debt, he needs as many people as possible clicking on the "donate" button before he has to call it quits.

The last chance to save America DOES NOT rest on the election of any particular politician, especially those offered up for consideration in the past couple decades.

The last chance to save America rests with We the People, refreshing the Tree of Liberty with the timeless wisdom contained in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights... or not.

Newt cant win. Its over. No need to continue fighting yesterdays war (or blogging about yesterdays war). It doesnt matter how great Newt is. If hes the Messiah, or Reagan reincarnated  he still cant win the nomination, much less the Presidency. Hes done. If he was our best hope  then its time to find the next best hope, or hunker down. Arranging deck chairs as the last few feet of the USS Newt go underwater is not productive. Clinging to false hope is a waste of time. Reality always beats delusion for planning purposes. Mitt is the nominee. Now what?

Wow. Why so negative? I doubt America could have survived 50 years if we all had that attitude.

I'll put my money where I WANT, thank you, and I sure as hell won't give my money to a guy worth hundreds of millions!

Call me cheap, I don't care.

Look, you have the freedom to support and vote for whomever you want. I am not giving up yet (neither is Newt's backer who just put in 5 million more yesterday on top of thousands of new doners to Newt) I guess he's and they are dopes too.

You can go lie down if you want. I am NOT going to.

We will never convince each other and I don't come to FR much anymore just because of stuff like this.

Negativity requires forecasting. This is just reality. The race is over. Romney has moved on. Conservative talkers have moved on. Even the horserace-obsessed media has moved on.

Delusions don’t help anyone. Conservatism is about dealing with the reality on the ground, not pie-in-the-sky false hopes.

Newt and Rick shot each other in the foot. If one or the other had gotten out early enough for the other to win, we’d have a different race. Both stayed in to the bitter end, split the conservative vote, got their asses whipped — and Romney beat them. Pride ... fall.

Keep the faith, FRiend. This ain’t over by a long shot, despite how the infestation of mittbots attempt to paint the picture that their self anointed fraud is the nominee. If mittens were such a sure thing, they wouldn’t bother. He’s in trouble and they are desperate for conservatives to cave in. Hold the line.

(Conservatism is not a party slogan, but a mindset guided by core values and walking the walk.)

Newt has still lost this race. He would’ve been a better candidate. He would’ve been a better President. He may even have deserved to win — had he and Rick Santorum not been so stubborn that neither would yield to the other to coalesce the conservative vote. Sadly, neither did.

In fact, he still has my vote (whenever the damn Texas primary rolls around). Nonetheless, he’s already lost. Time for Plan B (or C, or D, or E, or wherever we are at the moment).

No. Not if there’s a floor fight. Not if delegates vote their consciences. Not if delegates really come to terms with the fact that this is for the exitence of the Republic, the United States of America.
